Patrick Monkel is the author of the wallpaper featured on this week's Wallpaper of the Week section. His design is a composition blending photos and a few color gradients, producing an outstanding effect. We asked if Patrick could share with us a case study showing how he did that, so, fortunately for us, he was very kind and did that :)

In this post we will show you the secret behind Patrick Monkel's wallpaper of ther week.

My name is Patrick Monkel. I'm a freelance graphic designer from The Netherlands with 7 years of experience. I studied Multimedia Engineering in Amsterdam and interested in all kinds of arts. Take a look around and feel free to contact me...

Starfleet Jerks

Starfleet Jerks

A few weeks ago we posted a super cool poster created by Flavio Montiel. Today we share another great work from this talented art director, digital artist and illustrator from Brazil. The title of the artwork is 'Starfleet Jerks' and the reason it deserves this feature is, in my opinion, the beautiful light effects mixed with textures and that always pleasant retro look.
